Nope! This owl does not live in a zoo. He lives in the Leech Creek Valley in Lakewood, Washington. A friend of mine, John Anderson, who I worked with back in the 1970s, took this hard to get photo. This is a case of peaceful co-existence with nature in Lakewood. It is also a case of John scrambling quickly enough to get his camera before the owl took off. After all the owl does not give a hoot.
